DENiSON, BOSHAm AND NEW Or
LEANS.
TIE SURVEYORS SOON TO REACH BONHAM
ON THEIR WAY TO NEW ORLEANS.
The surveyors are out on the Denison,
Bonham and New Orleans route. II will
not be long before the survey is COM
pleted to this place, and then grading
will commence. This road is one OF
great Importance to our people. Its
whole route runs through one of the most
fruitful and productive regions of Texas,
and the question CT convenient shipping
points is one of paramount importance,
Many Of the farmers along this
route now Aave to haul their
produce from twelve to fifteen miles
to shipping place, but when this
road is completed, they can have
depotS along the route so arranged that
three TO four miles will be the greatest
distance any one will have to haul, which
will be q great saving to the farmers.
Say, for instance, the producer has corn
he wishes 10 sell, he nas to deliver 1t fiji
teen miles away from home; with two
horses he can haul twenty bushels; he
gets, delivered at the depot, 40 cents per
bushel, spoils TWO days in hsuling The
corn, time and team is worth 81 his
load, when sold, brings IS; one half of the
price Of the corn is gone for hauling. But
suppose he had a depot in four miles, he
can make three loads in one day, for
which he gets his 40 cents per bushel,
days WORK worth 50, to be deducted
from the S24, instead of 81 from S..
Thus he saves, by reason of distance, q
great amount of work as well as money
and time. Now, it does seem to us, that
every man owning land along the line, or
within four or five miles of the same, is
deeply interested IN having this road, and
nearly every one through whose land the
road runs can well afford to give the
right of way. and make money by having
the road near them Bonhsm Review.

TIE SITUATION.

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE Nachrichten
says: 1.-The threatening character Of the
situation across the western frontier is
becoming much more acute IL fact
huts have already been constructed to
shelter 100000 men and preDaratinns
have been made TO shelter similar num-
Der around Belfort. We have, beyond g
doubt, to deal with nothing less than
strengthening the French line which en-
a)les them at the beginning of hostil-
tiles to throw large force across the
frontier and thus transfer operations to
German territory.
WHAT BISMARCK SAYS.
BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE North German
Gazette, referring to the statements con-
tanned in election placarGs issued by the
opposition, which was that the govern
ment intends in the event of securing 8
majority in the new Reichstag to intro
duce monopoly bill, measures extending
military service TO seven years, an act to
suspend universal suffrage and an open
bill to suspend the constitution, says that
Prince Bismarck commenting thereon has
declared that the political poisoning
which the enemies of the empire wage Is
premeditated and systematic, and all
statements, except that it is the govern
ment'S intention to prolODg the Socialist
law, are senseless inventions. The Chan
cellor adds: off electors are ready to
believe that the government has such evil
designs, then they cannot be protected
from INSCRIPTIONS sharpers."

Ia answer to a question in regard to
the St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas, 4
local railroad man said yesterday there
can be 10 question a1out the Cotton Belt
building to Fort Worth st once, if the
city ana other cities on the line do what
the corporation has asked. l under
stand the terms proposed to be liberal in
the extreme, and | cannot believe there
will be any backwardness on the part of
towns on the route in doing what is
asked. The St. Louis, Arkansas and
Texas is cutting figure in railroad
circles and will soon be great power"
The Houston anu Texas Central being
in the hands of receivers cannot construct
new road at present, but Mr.. Huntington
as large interest holder in the Frisco
can bring that line to a connection with
the Central, and that he seems TO DE do
ing at present. Engineers are in the
field running & line from Roberts to Paris,
and when that is done the same engineers
will probably run the line from
Arthur City to Fort Worth to o
connection with Mr.. HuntiHgton's road,
the Fort Worth and New Orleans.
vt Fort Worth the Frisco will obtain
magnificent connections. the finest in
Texas, and Mr.. Huntington's road the
outlets decided. Huntington, Croker,
and Stanford, these three, are interested
in the development of Fort Worth, and
their era of railroad construction in Texas
will now begin. The Frisco line to Fort
Worth will, of course, be the main line,
while Dallas will be reached over the
Central from the junction point, and the
other cities of the state by the lines from
Roberts and Fort Worth.

The amount of knowledge to be gained
from a book does not always depend upon
its size. Some of the great revolutions in
the world of mind have come from very
small books. The truth may be small
but its unfolding be very great. This is
evidently the opinion of DR.. Humphreys,
of homeopathic fame. He presents very
small pills, and contends that the curative
results are very large, and he is consistent
in giving a small book with a very large
amount of matter.
His Rc,1Sed Manual is very small, but
scarce a word is wasted, and looking over
its pages, beautifully and clearly printed,
one is amazed to see how so much and
varied valuable matter could be condensed
in so small a compass. 1t is safe to say
that no person can read it without being
interested, and we do not wonder that it
is so highly priced by the thousands who
use his Specifics. He very Justly observes
that though the system of family medica
ton may not be f%erfect, yet in point of
safety, economy and c6icdcv it is immea-
surably in advance of anything heretofore
known.

A great many people of late have ex-
pressed a desire to Join the literary society
known as the NJ. E. Lyceum, but say
they cannot very well do so because they
do not belong to the Methodist church.
Those who suppose that a membership in
the Methodist or any other church is nee
essary in order to belong to the literary
society referred to are mistaken. A large
number, and probably a majority of those
who arc now members Of that organization,
do not and never did belong to any
church. While it is undoubt-
eddy a good thing to belong to some
church, yet you can be a member of this
literary society even if you are not a
church member.
